Across the Seasons

What lies ahead.

Spring 2026

The year opens quietly.

RetreatSpring 2026 By Selection

The Founders' Retreat

Bali, Indonesia

An island opening to the year — a small cohort of founders trading the noise of the raise for unhurried days, candid counsel, and the friendships that outlast a cycle.

Location by invitation

A late table for a handful of people who already know each other — or are about to. No stage, no record. You'll know if you're invited.

RetreatSummer 2026 By Selection

The Operators' Sanctuary

Koh Samui, Thailand

For leaders running businesses at scale. A retreat that privileges restoration as much as rigour — time to step out of the churn, look up, and grow alongside peers who carry the same weight.
